    Self Serve Price Increase

    Even a 17% price increase which is 30 seconds to 25 seconds per quarter. Over a 5 minute wash we are talking the difference between $2.50 to $3.00. Most people in America can handle the 50 cent swing if not how did they handle gas prices doubling? Plus on our side look at material prices normal...

    Self Serve Price Increase

    I have two sites, I believe the current standard should be 3$ cash for 5 minutes which is 25 seconds per quarter and no less than a 5$ swipe. Ideally 20 seconds per quarter. The biggest mistake I see is people giving away the wash with silly 1.50-2$ start prices and 30 seconds per quarter watch...

    Washworld HV troubleshoot

    But if it was the gearbox wouldn’t the motor turn freely when you pull it out? I pulled the motor out completely and tried to arch rotate it on the controller and it sounds normal but it doesn’t spin. It’ll spin easy by hand as if it was brand new

    IBA question

    Washworld High velocity operator here. I know it is in the same “generation” as PDQ 4000 with many things being identical. Now comparing that generation of machine to the “next-gen” Razor and LW 360, what are the real benefits of upgrading? Simplification/easier to operate? Speed? Because once...

    In Bay Heat

    Finishing up an IBA install and I'm getting to the point of having to decide on heating for winter in the midwest. Bay is roughly 30Lx18Wx12H and I had a quote made up to put two box heaters in for roughly 7k (non stainless) and 10k and change for stainless two 40k BTU boxes in both scenarios...

    Wall pack advice

    After seeing that I think 4 120’s will be too much 4 80’s might be the route instead. That is bright!

    Wall pack advice

    I’ve got a four bay that has 4 wall packs per bay that were converted to led with led bulbs. Looking to replace with either 80w or 120w wallpacks but I’m afraid 4 120’s might be too bright? If that’s even a thing haha any advice is welcome.

    Laser wash G5

    I’m based out of Michigan. I’m all over the place newer to the business but very new to in bay autos now I’m leaning towards a Washworld in lieu of a PDQ unit. I hear that washworld is less proprietary and just as good?

    I have the opportunity to purchase a g5 at a fairly good price. Is that system obsolete? Or should I wait until a good 360 comes to market? Any advice would be helpful new to in bay autos thanks again
